I will need to recertify my CMT next year, and would like to get a head start on this.  I am interested in doing the article summaries, as there is very little else I can do for CE credits here in my area.  I know that the easiest articles to find are the ones in JAAMT or Plexus, but I am not a member of AAMT (just haven't had the extra money to register yet).  If anyone has any old copies of either plexus or JAAMT that they would like to sell to me at a good price, or give, if you no longer want them, I would be willing to pay shipping.  Please e-mail me with any copies that you may want to get rid of.  Thanks in advance. 

Your life is changing for the better by the minute! If you don't keep a journal, this would be a great time to start. Write down how you feel today, the day you took control. If you ever waver in the future, or if you ever want to look back and see where you were, you can go back to today, the day that things changed and you felt your power for maybe the first time in a long time. In a few years, you may find what you wrote about right now just amazes you.

Does anyone get the AAMT Journal.  Is it worth the money?

A three-year-old boy was struck by a vehicle and killed early Monday after wandering away from the Gwinnett County condominium where he was staying.

Gwinnett County police spokesman Darren Moloney said Anthony Lloyd Oscar Littrean was staying with family friends at Olde Mill Crossing complex off Graves Road while his mother was hospitalized giving birth to a sibling.

Officers responding to a 4:30 a.m. report of the missing child found Anthony on Graves Road, across from the complex, Moloney said. He had been hit by a southbound vehicle.

Anthony was taken to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite, where he later died, Moloney said.

"They child was staying with family friends while the parents were at Northside Hospital," Moloney said, adding that Anthony's mother gave birth early Sunday morning.

Moloney said investigators believe the child "defeated the locks at the apartment he was staying at."

"When the family friends became aware the child was missing, they immediately began to search and called 911," Moloney said. "At this time, there is on indication of criminal neglect on the part of the child's caretakers."

He said Gwinnett police were "asking for help from anyone who might have been traveling down Graves Road toward South Norcross Tucker Road, away from I-85."

Moloney asked that anyone with information on the accident call 770-513-5048.

"Our investigators want to stress that it is possible that a [driver] struck the child without knowing exactly what they did," Moloney said. "It's possible a person struck the child without even causing damage to their car."

wanting benefits you need to be an employee.

I was certainly not saying I was representing "everyone's" sentiments.  I offered insite into WHY I believe not everyone will care to answer the original question.

I have no idea what your problem is, and I don't care.  Grow up. 

if their view doesn't happen to be the same as yours, they are judging and only come here to cause problems.  Good grief!  Everyone's opinion has validity as just that - AN OPINION.

Even though I may not agree with someone, I still respect their right to have their own opinion/view.  Just because I have I different stance doesn't mean I think they are stupid or wrong.  People can disagree without a "war."

I've been in this business long enough to know that number one, it is darn hard to get any clinic to sign a contract with an MT, and two, I'd put my head on the block and say that 99.99% of them would never sign a contract stating that if they break the contract, they would  continue to pay the MT x-amount per month, and if their high-powered attorney allowed them to do such an air head thing, they'd find a legal loop hole via to get out of it soooooo quick.

The MT who originated her post was obvlously feeling very down, as you would be if it happened to you, so I must say it was very BIG of you to kick her while she was in that position, and I have to wonder, who's more professional - you or the clinic who dumped her with no notice after years of good service.

May the karma bug bite you big time in the butt, and it will, too.

Have a nice day - Julie

Not drink out of the toilet, but about a year ago, she disappeared.  She's inside 100% of the time, so she wasn't hard to find, but she was pulling back the blankets on the bed and hiding under all the covers.  Sure enough, she was sick and had to be put on antibiotics.  I'm sure she would have died if we hadn't taken her to the vet. I also had another cat quite awhile ago that hid whenever he got sick.

I hope your kitty comes home!  My husband said that when he was young, they had a cat that would roam and be gone for long stretches of time, but he always came home.

New to this site.  Read something a while ago about Keystrokes not hiring.  Does anyone know anything about them now?  How are they to work for and how do they pay?  Thanks for any information, good, bad or ugly.

possibly pregnant, reading the junk magazines while going through the grocery store line?

So very, very few good or talented actors these days.  Give me Jerry Lewis or Bill Murray any day.  And actresses?  I can't even list any I like anymore besides Marily Monroe. 

another MT friend of mine sent me this email

 My friend's daughter works in a dermatology office.  They are opening a new additional office.  They determined that with the opening of a new office, it was far better to now buy a system for transcribing their own documents and it also allows doctor to input the codes for billing.  So, they no longer need their Transcriptionist or their coder.  Their coder is going to do other duties at the office and their home transciptionist is SOL. 

electronic word books, you can only download 2 times.  I have 2 computers and I download to both, in case something happens I have a backup.  I also tend to have computer issues for some reason and when I try to do a reinstall of the OS it doesn't keep my Stedman's.  Since I can only download twice that makes me not able to use it.   I tried to company all Stedmans to a BUS drive in case I had to restall again, but it won't work and you can't copy from one computer to another, you have to have the original disk.    

I'm not thrilled with it, but I don't think they are doing anything illegal.

is the sound on my computer cuts out for no reason. I just started doing VR this week and the sound disappears. It's not just the program. It's the whole computer. If I reboot, it's back.

I also noticed that, although the work load is heavy, I'm out of work around the same time every day for about an hour or two.  Then I'm okay for the rest of the day.

Please don't tell me it's my computer. I can't afford another one at this time of the year.

Please don't tell me it's my sound card...the computer is only 1-1/2 years old.

I have 512 MB RAM. Do you think this is too little for VR? It never happened when I was doing regular transcribing.

Any ideas?

Thanks,S

and see what they are up to now.  I think Brenda H. is trying to get the doctors to talk more plainly so the off-shore accounts can understand them better.  HA - HA.

Be sure to look at very bottom of the article.  For more information please check out AAMT.........  What a bunch of garbage.  While the context of the article is true, it is the source of the article that is a fake ...... Good Grief.

Has anyone noticed Word save and opening of new documents slow down since upgrading to IT Revision 541 or is it just me?  I tried other things, such as clean disc, defrag, ran System File Check for Windows XP, and Registry Cleaner.  These things helped speed up everything on my computer except Word, which would still be very slow to save and open a new document.

I uninstalled IT and reinstalled the older version and now Word is back to normal speed.  Has anyone else experienced a slow down with the revision or is it just me?  I also didn’t like how the new version linked with spelling and grammar check window in Word.

It's probably just me.  I'm always having weird problems.  I'm using Word 2002 (XP) by the way.

The butterfly type back support?  Can't remember the exact name for it.  Do you think the chairs are worth the money?   Thanks.
